However, both types of paint ceilings have their advantages and disadvantages when applied to ceilings. Generally speaking, if you have high-domed ceilings, then flat ceiling paint may provide a smoother look once it has dried completely when you paint a ceiling. In other cases, people may choose to apply a coat of primer before the final paint is applied on the prep work with a fresh coat in the final price.\r\rAnother problem that appears is peeling after the painting project. There are certain types of paints and primers that do not adhere well to ceilings and require more paint, which results in an uneven surface once painted on the prep work. Some oil-based paints may warp and peel or even blister around door trim or wood beams. Although this can be prevented by applying one or two coats of primer first on high ceilings, it's still something to beware of if you plan on painting your ceiling with flat finish paint.\r\rIf you're going for a glossy look on your high ceiling, then eggshell paint would be the best choice since it dries hard and resists stains better than other types of paint and is also less costly per square foot.
